Abstract
Amazon (2013):
A member of the Pulitzer Prize jury, the late Frank McConnell helped science fiction
gain standing as serious literature. His 16 essays herein were first presented as
papers at the prestigious Eaton Conferences. Initially believing that science fiction
is primarily one of many forms of storytelling, McConnell gradually recognized science
fiction as a modern expression of Gnosticism, rejecting bodily concerns for an emphasis
on spirituality.
